And I took a quick look at the rear panel. More work to do.

Ok, that helps fill in the gap, thank you! I've got a small version of one of those profile gauges, but nothing like that for car body work. The tool whore in me may need to acquire one of those.
Appreciate it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

First job today was to weld up the "extra" holes in the rear panel, and then give it another pass of metal work.

I then gave the other panels another smoothing pass. I might be getting these as good as I can. The photos might not show that the highs and lows differ by only about a mm or less.

And I made a first check of the right rear fender. More work to do here.

I took a break from panel work today. The first task was replacing a broken stud for the trunk lid torsion bar bracket on the right side. The PO repair was a hole drilled and tapped "nearby".

First step was to cut off the remains bit of stud, and then drill through the flange inside the long.

Next, I went to work on the trunk lid. As I previously reported, this replacement lid had a rust-through in the inner rib along the trailing edge. I had cut out the rusted section and cleared out some of the inner foam.

Today, I went after more of the foam. I managed to clear it from the side with the access hole and through the center latch area.

I broke out the bore scope to see the degree of rust and remaining foam.

Here's a shot from inside the space between the rib and the trunk lid skin. Looks like the worst rust is where I cut out the original spot. But still lots of foam to extract from the other side.

I wonder if there is a chemical that would "eat" the foam and not damage the metal?
